The hotel staff are wonderful, I would like to emphasize the staff who are in the restaurant buffet, from the wonderful girl who attends us in the crepes (with nutella) that I eat the edges of the crepe (his wonderful smile) to the person who toward the omelets and all the team of waiters who knew you were going to drink every day. They remembered it. Room staff are wonderful, always with a smile, the hotel staff in general, is worth it, always people willing to help you at all times. The value of the hotel is in people, in all of them who work to make your stay unique. I didnt remember names but everyonr are so special for us, we would like to be back again.

We have been to 3 resorts in total and this was definitely the best. All worked super smoothly, from being picked up at the airport, to transferring to the seaplane terminal, to a comfortable Manta Air seaplane ride without any waiting time. The island is small and intimate, easily walkable with a beautiful beach and house reef for snorkelling, where we saw several black tip reef sharks, soooo many fish, an egale ray etc. The overwater villa was extremely spacious and so comfortable, with direct access to the water. The food was delicious (we booked full-board which was more than enough for us) and staff was extremely friendly. We also used the gym, which is nicely located with a full glass front in the middle of the island. In hindsight, we would only stay in Nova :)

The room was amazing—spacious and luxurious! It was definitely worth choosing the villa with a pool. The staff were friendly and polite throughout our stay. I also appreciated the smooth communication with the hotel when arranging our transfer for arrival. We truly felt welcomed and that the hotel cared about our arrival. Possibility of early breakfast (around 6 am) much appreciated!

Our stay at Nova was wonderful. The resort and its surroundings were very stunning. The sea was indescribably beautiful. The transfer from the airport was very well organized. All the facilities, activities were great and the offerings were varied. There were a lot of food options. Even if we wanted to taste specific specialties, it was cooked especially for us by our chef. All the staff were very friendly, dedicated and knowledgeable. They tried to fulfill every wish in the best possible way and were very attentive. I would especially like to thank Heidi, Chef Evinda, Chef Bee, Chef James, Jaleel, Eemaze (two), Jalim, Haidee, Kadek, Ali, Naida and all the other crew members (e.g. for housekeeping, etc. sorry I have forgotten some of the names). This stay was unforgettable. Thank you Nova!

Nova This review will be fairly long, as the level of care, professionalism, attention to detail and sheer joy we received is hard to put into a short review. Here’s the TL;DR before the long version: Don’t think twice, book Nova. It’ll be worth every penny, the facilities are top notch and state of the art (barely 2 years old) and the staff is the most amazing in the world. Now, let’s dive in. The experience begins with Ms Zhou at arrivals welcoming you along with the front office team. You’re shown around the island, where you see Wink (the social hub of the island), the state of the art gym, and white sand beaches. The villas are out of this world, spacious, well ACed, and with good access to the water. You don’t spend much time in the room however, because you’ll be eating at Soul Kitchen, where Evi, Bee, Sinhala, Anggi, Manoj and the wok-master himself James prepare you the best meals at restaurant level you can have. Not once do you feel like it’s a buffet, because the quality is so high. At breakfast, make sure to grab a sweet bite from the pastry chef Ms. Bee, or a perfectly cooked each time eggs Benedict from Anggi. At lunch or dinner, be sure to get a live-cooking rice from James, Sinhala or Manoj - the wok hei taste is something that you cannot replicate without their years of experience. Big shout out to Chef James for helping me build up my spice tolerance. The state of the art cooking is supplemented by the attentive staff, who don’t let a day pass by without pampering you. Huge thanks to the entire team, especially Mohammed, Shaee, Jailam, Angunn, Lee, Heidi, Fitri, Kadek and of course Muneeb. When catching the sunset in the Solis Pool Bar, a cocktail from one of Sri Lanka’s best - Sandun - is a must. (Though the first place is closely tied with Krishan from Wink, also Sri Lanka). Sandun makes the perfect cocktails, easily carries the conversation and has insightful comments. Wink - the social hub of the entire island.

Nova is a very quiet and tiny island with no too many guests, just an ideal destination to switch off from the entire world. Staff were amazing, just ready to complete any of my requests. I loved it a lot! Many different water activities, snorkeling, canoeing, diving! I would love to come back again!

Amazing location, beautiful beach, stunning room and wonderful staff! Wouldn't hesitate to return. The reef was lovely and took the trip to see Mant'as which was well worth it!
